$2 billion in research grant cuts and the firing of 1300 scientists is nothing less than disastrous. The brain drain to Canada, Australia, Europe and China has already started.

“Dr. Francis Collins: Deaths from heart disease are down by 75% in the last 40 years. That's NIH. Deaths from stroke are down about 75%. That's NIH. HIV, AIDS. …was a death sentence… and now you have a normal lifespan.”

Former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins, who abruptly left his NIH research lab in February, fears aggressive downsizing could impact Americans' health.

We have Katrina Lu, L.Ac in the clinic every Wednesday from 9:15 am- 7:00 pm. Katrina’s passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine started when she was a young girl and her mother would make medicinal soups that accompanied dinner. Having grown up around TCM and the philosophy that grounds its practice her whole life, she didn’t think seriously about becoming a practitioner until Covid shuttered her job at a nonprofit for underserved families. Wanting to help others in a more direct and holistic way, she decided to pursue a formal education and completed her Master’s degree at Emperor’s College. She is pleased to be joining Echo Park Acupuncture and treats a wide berth of health concerns including musculoskeletal pain, mental wellness, gynecological conditions, fertility, and more.

NATIONAL ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY FEBRUARY 28, 2025

The National Economic Blackout, scheduled for February 28, 2025, is a powerful call to action aimed at protesting recent rollbacks of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies by major corporations. The primary goal is to demonstrate the significant economic influence of marginalized communities by abstaining from all non-essential spending for 24 hours, beginning at 12 a.m. 
What is being asked of you?
• Do not spend money: Refrain from making any purchases, both in-store and online, on February 28.
• Support local businesses: If you must make essential purchases, prioritize small, local, and minority-owned businesses.
• Spread the word: Encourage friends, family, and your community to participate and raise awareness about the blackout.
Origins and Supporters
The initiative was launched by the People’s Union in response to corporations scaling back DEI programs.  Prominent figures such as actor John Leguizamo have endorsed the movement, urging Black and Latino communities, along with their allies, to participate. 

Why Your Participation Matters
Collective economic actions have historically been effective in prompting change. By uniting in this blackout, we send a clear message to corporations about the importance of DEI initiatives and the economic power of marginalized communities.

No Justice, No Dollars – Our Money, Our Power!
